During a recent meeting between Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Nichervan Barzani, the head of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, Ghalibaf emphasized the commonalities shared by regional countries and the importance of unity in the face of external threats. He highlighted the historical and cultural ties that bind the people of the region together, noting that external forces seek to sow division for their own gain.
Ghalibaf pointed to the example of European countries, who have overcome centuries of conflict to form alliances based on mutual cooperation. He urged for increased interaction and cooperation between Iran, Iraq, and Kurdistan, citing the potential for unity and peace in the region.
Barzani, in turn, expressed condolences for the recent assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, attributing the act to the Zionist regime’s attempt to disrupt regional stability. He praised Iran’s support for Kurdistan during challenging times and highlighted the ongoing efforts to strengthen relations with both Iran and Iraq.
The meeting underscored the importance of solidarity and collaboration among regional powers to counter external threats and build a peaceful future for the Middle East.
